Driver Information Center (DIC) Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed in
one of your vehicle's systems. Vehicles that are first sold
in Canada will have a number after each message. This
number helps to identify the problem. You must then press
INFO or INFO RESET to clear the display screen for
further use. However, be sure to take any message that
appears on the display screen seriously and remember that
pressing the INFO or INFO RESET button will only make
the message disappear, not the problem.
DIC messages can also be displayed in French, German,
Spanish and Japanese. Contact your dealer to have the
language display adjusted for your vehicle.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
- 7: This message
will appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE
- 27: This message is
displayed when the vehicle has detected that the battery
voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable point. The
battery saver system will start reducing certain features
of the vehicle that you may not be able to notice. At the
point that features are disabled, this message is
displayed. It means that the vehicle is trying to save the
charge in the battery. Turn off unnecessary accessories
to allow the battery to recharge.BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH
- 8: This message shows
that the electrical charging system is overcharging (more
than 16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the electrical
system checked by your dealership. You can reduce the
charging overload by using the accessories. Turn on the
lamps and radio, set the climate control on AUTO and the
fan speed on HI, and turn the rear window defogger on.
You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing
the INFO button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts
when the engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW
- 6: This message
will appear when the electrical system is charging less
than 10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this
message appears immediately after starting, it is possible
that the generator can still recharge the battery. The
battery should recharge while driving but may take a
few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger
(be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions) to
boost the battery after returning home or to a final
destination. If this message appears while driving or
after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked
immediately to determine the cause of this problem.
To help the generator recharge the battery quickly, you
can reduce the load on the electrical system by turning
off the accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on
the DIC by pressing the INFO button. The normal range
is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA) (Option)
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist can help you to
determine how close an object is to your rear bumper
within a given area, making parking easier.
The URPA display is
located inside the vehicle,
above the rear window. It
has three color
-coded lights
that can be seen through the
rearview mirror or by
turning around.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever is
moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle speed is less
than 3 mph (5 km/h). When the system comes on, the
three lights on the display will illuminate to let you
know that the system is working. URPA senses how
close your vehicle is to an object. The distance is
determined by the four ultrasonic sensors located on the
rear bumper. When you shift into REVERSE (R) and an
object is detected, the following will occur in sequence
depending on the distance from the object:

At 5 feet (1.5 m) a chime will sound and one amber
light will be lit;

at 40 inches (1.0 m) both amber lights will be lit;

at 20 inches (0.5 m) a continuous chime will sound
and all three lights (amber/amber/red) will be lit; and

at 1 foot (0.3 m) a continuous chime will sound and
all three lights (amber/amber/red) will flash.

the air for the right front passenger independent of the
driver's setting.
Press the up arrow to increase the temperature setting or
the down arrow to decrease it.

3-6 Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
Press the driver's temperature knob to turn the system
on manually. You may also need to adjust the
temperature and fan speed. The system will cool and
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle.
When the system is in AUTO, it will use recirculation as
necessary to cool the air.

Press MODE to select floor. Adjust the interior
temperature manually to a comfortable level. If the fan
speed needs adjustment, press the up or down arrow.
Outside air will be brought in, warmed and sent through
the floor, instrument panel outlets. The heater works
best if you keep your windows closed while using it.
In AUTO, the fan will not run at high speed to minimize
warm
-up time.
Defogging and Defrosting
Use FRONT on cool and humid days to keep the
windshield and side windows clear. This setting will
remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in
extremely humid or cold conditions. If you desire to
have more air on your feet, turn the control to the
floor/defrost mode.
Press FRONT to activate the defrost mode. Adjust the
fan speed by pressing the up or down arrow on the fan
button. You may also adjust the temperature by turning
the driver's temperature knob. If you select floor/defrost
from AUTO, the system will control the fan speed and
temperature for you.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode, and
the A/C system cannot be turned off in this mode.

3-7 Rear Window Defogger
The grid lines you see on the rear window warm the
glass. When the rear window defogger is turned on,
the rear window and both outside rearview mirrors are
heated to remove snow and ice from the surface of
the glass.
REAR (Rear Window
Defogger): The rear
window defogger button is
located on the climate
control panel near the
bottom left corner.
Press the button to turn on the rear defogger. Press the
button again to turn the system off.The system will automatically shut off after 10 minutes
unless your vehicle is traveling more than 30 mph
(48 km/h). If further defogging is desired once the
system is off, press the button again. The system will
automatically shut off after five minutes for any cycles
after the initial activation.
NOTICE:
Don't use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid or the
integrated rear window antenna, and the repairs
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
The lines along the top of the window are for the
diversity antenna and are not intended to defog the
rear window.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.

Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment filter. The filter removes certain
contaminants from the air, including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more
quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the filter needs to
be replaced early.
The filter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. See ªPassenger Compartment
Air Filterº in the Index for more information on
replacement. See ªMaintenance Scheduleº in the Index
for replacement intervals.
Your vehicle will not be damaged if you choose not to
replace the filter once the old one is removed.HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
(If Equipped)
Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some
audio controls. See ªAudio
Steering Wheel Controlsº in
the Index.
~TEMP! (Temperature): Press the up arrow on the
control to increase the temperature and the down arrow
to decrease temperature manually.
!
~
(Fan): Press the up arrow on the control to
increase the fan speed and the down arrow to decrease
fan speed manually.

3-36 Diversity Antenna System
Your AM-FM antennas are located in the front
windshield and rear window. Be sure that the inside
surfaces of the front windshield and rear window are not
scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surfaces are damaged, they could
interfere with radio reception. Also, for proper radio
reception, the antenna connector located on the
passengers side top corner of the front windshield and
the antenna connector located on the drivers side top
corner of the rear window need to be properly attached
to the buttons on the glass.
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting. The metallic film
in some tinting materials will interfere with or distort the
incoming radio reception.NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the front windshield or rear window
with a razor blade or anything else that is sharp.
This may damage the grid lines and affect your
radio's ability to pick up stations clearly. The
repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
If, when you turn on your rear window defogger, you
hear static on your radio station, it could mean that a
defogger grid line has been damaged. If this is true, the
grid line must be repaired.
If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone to
your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the
glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid lines for
the AM
-FM antennas or place the cellular telephone
antenna over the grid lines.
XM Satellite Radio Antenna System
(If Equipped)
Your XM Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice
build up for clear radio reception.
